Do you need the single quotes perhaps?

Re: [PHPTAL] PHPTAL and form macros
Glad to know I'm on the right track - or at least there are others out there with the same prejudices!

Re: [PHPTAL] PHPTAL and form macros
Robert, That sounds very interesting, I'll look forward to seeing it. I've had a few private emails from people suggesting php pre-rendering with structures, or using Zend Forms. I thought I should make it clear that the reason that I'm not looking to go down that path is that that's where I've come from. (The framework I've been using has 'foxels' analagous to pixels, which are form elements that can be built using array specs, but which have renderers for html, xml and json.) This makes it really easy to create lots of forms where there aren't isn't the need for heavy single-form specific coding. The benefit I see of doing it this way is that it makes it easier to create highly complex one-off forms within the system using specific templates, but to have a generalised forms to hand for most of the rest... without having to change the backend logic. Hope that's as clear as mud...

Re: AW: [PHPTAL] PHPTAL and form macros
Per, That's a great help. Yes, the model is massively simplified, but I figured it was better to explain what I was getting at... I take your point about ugliness!

The db backend (FileMaker, no, really) I'm using wants to present data as an array of named field values, plus field defnitions. How would synthesising a php class/object heirarchy to place between the array representation from the db and the phptal parser help?

Re: [PHPTAL] PHPTAL and form macros
:-) I take your point...
Yes, I do have a framework - but it's not the framework I'm currently using!

[PHPTAL] PHPTAL and form macros
Hi,
Just a pre-re-invent-the-wheel inquiry... Does anyone have an example of macros
for formatting form fields in phptal?
I have an older framework which create field objects based on the data and
type, and populates them from a simple array:
e.g.
array('label'=>'', 'type'=>'hidden', 'value'=>2),
'name' => array('label'=>'Name', 'type'=>'text', 'value'=>'John Smith'),
'user'=> array('label'=>'Owner', 'type'=>'select',
'valuelist'=>array(1,2,3), 'value'=>2)
);
?>
It seems daft me to duplicate the logic twice over, and it appears that phptal
might be able to handle it with some repeats and templating. But before I tie
myself in knots over this, has anyone already done it, or tried it and found
the gotcha ;-)
Thanks,
R

Re: [PHPTAL] How to write a sort link for table headers
I've got it to work with:
field name
but I was wondering if there's something more idiomatic that I should have used
instead?

[PHPTAL] How to write a sort link for table headers
Apologies for double-post - did a reply to a previous posting rather than start
new thread. Sorry!
Hi,
Sorry for the newbie question - I'm trying to work out how to rewrite a link at
the top of a table that sorts the table by column...
At present, I'm using:
field name
where I've captured incoming values in the GET ...
$template->column = array_key_exists('column', $_GET)) ?
htmlspecialchars($_GET['column']) : ''; # grab the sort column
$template->criteria = (array_key_exists('criteria', $_GET)) ?
htmlspecialchars($_GET['criteria']) : '';# grab search criteria
I need to decide how to signify that a table, already sorted by 'column',
should be reverse sorted by column. In the past I'd do this by using the case
of 'column' - 'column' for ascending and 'COLUMN' for descending. Is there a
way to do this without resorting to php? or is there a more idiomatic PHPTAL
way of doing it?
Any pointers gratefully received...

[PHPTAL] How to write a sort link for table headers
Hi,
Sorry for the newbie question - I'm trying to work out how to rewrite a link at
the top of a table that sorts the table by column...
At present, I'm using:
field name
where I've captured incoming values in the GET ...
$template->column = array_key_exists('column', $_GET)) ?
htmlspecialchars($_GET['column']) : ''; # grab the sort column
$template->criteria = (array_key_exists('criteria', $_GET)) ?
htmlspecialchars($_GET['criteria']) : '';# grab search criteria
I need to decide how to signify that a table, already sorted by 'column',
should be reverse sorted by column. In the past I'd do this by using the case
of 'column' - 'column' for ascending and 'COLUMN' for descending. Is there a
way to do this without resorting to php? or is there a more idiomatic PHPTAL
way of doing it?
